Clough - The Brian Clough Story (2009) 

So glad he told the truth about the drunk fans.

Has a statue in 3 different cities; say's it all. BC in Derby means ''Before-Clough' .

@@db0800 He told the truth about the drunk fans.

he told the truth about everything.. @@JamesRichards-mj9kw

Sir Alex took an average Aberdeen and broke the old firm and won the league 3 times. Won the Cup winners Cup by beating Real Madrid. He then took an ailing, mid table Man Utd, promoted youth players and made them world beaters. Sir Alex is as great as people say.

DrAxe Dharme Ferguson is one the best managers so all time but this myth that he achieved all his success at United with young players is false he spent money on players like pallister Parker Webb Hughes Bruce McClair Irwin cantona schmeichel ince granted some these were bargains but they made up the backbone of his first two titles which then allowed the class of 92 to be intergrated in gradually

@@jamesmarshall2961 he did buy players no doubt but like you said, he didn't spend 100m on any of them like we see today.

@@AxeDharme we only broke world transfer record once, with Pogba. Fergie made British record transfers quite regularly. I think half of the players listed there (plus Roy Keane) either broke British transfer fee outright, or was the most expensive transactions in their positions. they were the $100m purchase of their times.

@@jamesmarshall2961 it's not quite fair to lump Sparky with the rest of them. After all we should never have sold him in the first place.

johnny giles a class act

I was just thinking that watching fair play to the guy

Giles always used to say on Irish TV that clough was a genius and Bobby Charlton one of the greats of world football.neither in his opinion got the credit they deserved

And he knows, like all the Leeds players of that time, that it would have been Leeds United lifting the European Cup under Brian Clough and likely more than one championship. My dad, a life long Leeds fan, football referee of some note, personal friend of Billy Bremner, Eddie Gray and Peter Lorimer, despite the issues at the club and his loyalty to the players, was utterly heartbroken when Clough left Leeds... I remember him talking to me about it, I was 10 years old, "that is the worst decision the club have ever made son, we've just let the best manager in the world walk away from our team". And he was right. RIP Brian. Respect.

Yes, I like the way he said he didn't like Clough, but his family couldn't do anything about the BS. So, he decided to step up. He was also defending himself, but to go to bat for the Clough's was big of him.

I'm Italian, i lived in Scotland from 2001 to 2007, how many scottish players there were in Nottingham Forest? i've heard quite a few in the interviews, Mc Govern? Burns?

I agree. Ultimately he was a devoted husband and father who stuck by his family through thick and thin and they remained loyal to him.

Likewise myself 😌

@@geoffreyjonathanwilson9932 Yes, i agree, totally, he was Unique, a real working-class hero, who never forgot 'The Little People', a true Legend.

You are a biased mad.

I

I'm Scottish from Glasgow. Clough needs a film made out him. No, wait...

Very FORTHRIGHT man, Brian Clough. @Simon Barnett

Yeah, complete respect and very well said. However, not forgetting that other genius from the other side of the Trent, Jimmy Sirrel.

Have a word with your fellow County fans who inexplicably hate us, won't you?

Best comment ever! 😂

He never did that you forgetting Jimmy Floyd hasslebaink ?? Clough made burton noticed but a couple of famous managers also managed them

you can definitely tell that she was the rock of that relationship. he was a lucky man to have a wife like barbara.

She's just remarkable.

I'm an LFC fan, and I have a huge amount of respect for Forest and I wish they were in the PL. I hate the way modern football rolls.

Rangers supporter saying a beautiful tribute to Clough. Wish we had him as a manager back then. RIP Brian

Greatest football team lol

@@jayratz9392 between 77 n 80 they were an off there own backs dethroned liverpool who were europes finest . no sugar daddy club just good management

So well put. Thank you for your kind comments sums it all up beautifully. Fair play 👌

Me to

Salt of the earth men such as Clough, Bobby Robson and Jack Charlton are what give those days such fond memories.

Yeah me too bud ❤

Just shows you there's no I in team, hd took a lot of average players who didn't do much when they left and turned them into world beaters. Brilliant manager.

​@@paulanthony5274But there is an I in WIN

I agree with you.What a brilliant man.My late father called him "Mr Football".R.I.P.

And how about an RIP for Peter Taylor? Or have you somehow forgotten that they were a team and won things together?

Yes, Peter Taylor was the talent spotter, the good cop to Clough's bad cop with the players. He was an important ingredient in the success. Without him Clough was never as successful.

Fully agree

Happy 59th birthday lad

Probably the most charismatic, likeable and honest manger to every grace British football. If there’s anybody in my life who matches his charm and wit I’ll be a happy man

And he knew your lot were a bunch of villains up there 😉

@@undercoverbrother67 funny comment 🤔 could you post a clip of the great mans saying this ?

@@gmc2652 Search it yourself. Wont let me post the link.

Robson never won the English league or European Cup , the big two. Clough did that twice with provincial clubs, no money and journeymen players, extraordinary. There was no precedent or antecedent of that in the English game.

And when you come back to me don't drone on about the UEFA Cup or Cup winners cup, they are not in the same League as the European Cup as it was back then. Becoming the champion of all the league winners is the ultimate accolade and Robson never did it, he didn't even win the English league!

completely failed at Leeds, one of the best squads in the country at the time.

@@viktoriavasiliev failed? You clearly missed something...

ZolaMagic25 Yes failed. Sacked 44 days in is failing. He was too arrogant and his man management skills were not good enough to handle that Leeds squad. But regardless of the reasons why, anybody anywhere who gets sacked after 7 weeks has clearly failed.

I remember him leading a man dressed as a clown or something off the pitch by his ear lobe I thought that was typical Clough

Like that mate very nice keep smiling

Beautiful.

Yes, Leeds loss. Should have been them.

Here. Here.

Jason Karloff Where. Where?

Shame that your club ( owned by not a rich man but a country ) has ruined football ...they don't even own their ground !! We the people do ..the taxpayers of Britain.

"ruined football" completely disregarding Man United, Chelsea, Real Madrid spending £30m on players the past 10+ years...what a fanny. Just think next time you fill up your car you'll be funding our next superstar to play for the might blues!!! :-)

Brain and Peter were very close friends throughout their association in football

@shog dite, ditto. YNWA.

same i have tear in my eye lfc stood in the kopp

Yes!

More of a business now than anything else. Sad really.

Facts

It’s about money more than talent now

Don't forget that Leicester City won the prem three years ago.

Wolfgang Ambrus exactly, nowadays something like that stands out, in the 60s it would be normal

Shane Levene When did Nigel ever manage Brighton?

Shane Levene you know nothing John Snow

Shane Levene Made yourself look a prat there haven't you?

Peter Kehoe oof

He's a bottler as a manager. Sheffield United are a big club and he was terrible there. He's too happy in his comfort zone at Burton.

They weren't " short seasons ", they were the same length as they had always been.

you cetainly have an attitude problem or is it just lack of the english spoken lanquage

agreed, that will never ever be reproduced, it would be like QPR who are pretty much in the same position as forest where when clough and taylor took over, winning promotion to the prem league, winning the league, then winning champs league back to back, all in 4 yrs, it will not be done again

Wonder Hero That's actually incorrect. Bill Shankly did that with Liverpool. He turned a mid table second division team into a domestic and European giant.

but i think the point wonder hero is making that forest had no Big DNA, it wasnt in their culture, b4 shankly took over liverpool had been champions of england 5 times already, forest were a butt end provincial club,

Well said m8/

Most certainly a legend. And, yes, they never die. Clough was something special.

Barbara does come across as a lovely person. Very illuminating documentary.

We should have beat Juventus but they fixed the game. Trust the Italians to add some good old fashioned corruption.

john vaughan that film is pure shit making Cloughie out to be a headcase dipso

john vaughan Ditto I always wondered that seeing how they indulged so much time in Wenger's less effective vision. This guy would have been hunted asap after the Leeds debacle.

Not forgetting Sir Bobby Robson... he also did miracles with Ipswich and won the UEFA Cup. I Have a lot of respect for Sir Bobby in addition to Clough

heard of bob paisley ?

But for his big gob you mean.

your bitter leeds utd are really a small team

" your bitter "? and you're fucking illiterate

These idiotic Clough worshippers seem to forget about Bob Paisley. They just think the sun shone out of Brian's arse.

Booking? Hey hey ;)

I'd liken it to picking Raheem Sterling instead of Marcus Rashford (or Loftus Cheek) for England!

Brooking was a skilful player, but Clough was supposed to have described him thus; "Floats like a butterfly, stings like a . . . . butterfly"! As kids, I remember my brother and I laughing with incredulity when Brooking missed an England game due to "a painful blister". Most of us would have been prepared to play in bare feet if it meant a chance of playing for your country!

It sounds corny as fuck but its proof of some kind of human connection that can get through to player and bring out something special in them.

Much the same story with Kenny Burns. He had a talent for instilling confidence in people/bringing out the best in them. When he arrived at Nottingham Forest John Robertson was on the transfer list............

And that, my friend, is what you call.......Management.

Erm, Dave Mackay signed Bowyer for Forest, not Clough. Bomber was one of the five Forest ‘originals’ who were there when Clough arrived and went with him right to the head of Europe.

@@AH-be6bu I never knew Mackay managed Forest. In something of a twist, it was Clough leaving Derby that paved the way for Mackay to go to Derby in '73 and win the title in 1975, to back up Clough's 1972 title win. And then Clough obviously had the run at Forest from 75 onwards. One of those situations where both clubs and managers did OK from the swap....although Forest did far better in the long run

God love Yee... I'll say a hail Mary for you

agaskew we still got punch and Judy

lol

You hit the nail on the head there, I believe that social media and TV revenues have honestly destroyed that feel-good factor of watching a football game. Think about it, before sky sports or BT sport, the only way to watch a game live was to simply go to the stadium, so you felt special and lucky to go and thus, the feel-good factor. Now anyone with some money spare can watch from anywhere in the world. Social media too, any idiot can express their opinion - the only way to get around it is to ignore it or accept you can’t please everyone...

@@jacksayer9658 what a great point mate and the millenials have no idea about it... Talk to them and they tall you about every player... Because of their Fifa game rating.... They missed out so much

@@craigpearson7578 i myself actually missed this era and only saw 2000s onwards, i'd love to go back to the 70's and and im 19

What !!!??.. Please explain what you are trying to say in real English.

He was only a miss on the third Sunday of every month. And it was 300 per hour no rough stuff

@@neillp3827 very good

DIRK FIZZLEFUNK Look Up What he said about Hillsborough... I think you’ll change your mind...

That Liverpool side was incredible then, and it's a huge tribute that for a couple of years he had little Nottingham Forest on a par with them. On talent how many Forest players would be in the Liverpool side then? Maybe Robertson, maybe Anderson, Shilton and Clemance? Clemance played more often for England. That's the genius of Cloughie.

@@hazelwalsh3269 Yes, he was very wrong about what he said but at least he apologised for it later.

Claudio Ranieri? Didn't win the CL but still a remarkable achievement to win the prem.

Money has seen that Cloughs achievements will not be matched. Simply because any club coming from tier 2 will almost certainly have money behind them. Clough never had money at either Derby or Notts Forest.

Yep. When it was 2 legs and straight knock outs in every round not the shitty champions league they have now where u can lose 3 group games and still go through.

For me this doesn't get enough credit for what it deserves. It should be mentioned as much as Liverpool winning the European Cup, and I'm a Liverpool fan. What Clough and Taylor did was simply incredible

Geraint Atherton I know right, completely agree, it's saying a lot for Giles to come to his defense. Jesus it must have been some version of him in that book. At least the film makers kept their word.

He has seen he could take legal action on the back of this to make a few quid. He had great grounds. Lawyer advised that maybe didn't know he was still alive.

Hey Chris - Brian Clough said the biggest mistake he ever made was leaving Derby County. To me, that's worth more than two European Championships... 😉👍🐑🐑🐑

all socialists- and Jock Stein

No disrespect but I find it amazing that nobody mentions Bob Paisley; Football League First Division (6): League Cup (3): FA Charity Shield (6): European Cup (3): UEFA Cup (1): UEFA Super Cup (1) - No Busby, not Shankley, not Ferguson not Clough came close to those stats.

You're right and a bit like Mourinho, he couldn't maintain it, for a variety of reasons, some the same, some different. You are making people believe, even though it's not true. The facade doesn't last long, even though you get the silverware. Management is a very strange business!! The players look back and think, "how deaf hook did we manage that"? Then, afterwards, they can't replicate it and that's a head fuck.

@@james09995 what?. Ferguson 13 leagues. Nobody comes close to him.

Bobby Robson, Bela Guttman, Carlo Ancelotti, Marcelo Lippi, Trapatoni, Mourinho

good point, Taylor would have helped Clough build and select a very different team in the late 1970's, got rid of the England backline of Thompson/Neal replaced them with Anderson, capped Hoddle and Cowans alot more...emphasised quick wing play...and counter attacks

U saying clough was best manager of all time 😆😆😆😆😆 u may be drunk Mike.. Brian clough was manager for 29 seasons yes 29 years . In 29 seasons he won 2 league titles and 2 European cups lol and other trophies were Micky mouse trophys league cup and littlewoods cups lol . So for 29 seasons this clown won 4 major trophies 😊😆😆😆😆😆😅😆😆😆😆😆 Come on guys I mean COME ON why why how why how and why does the entire media call Brian clough the GREATEST can someone tell me plzzzzzzzzzzzz? Aston villa won European cup then exactly 1 season later they won league title they have been forgotten!!! Blackburn rovers 1995 forgotten! Leicester city triumph lol they been forgotten tooo. . Liverpool 2005 with a very very poor team won European cup they been forgotten. ... the reason why people wont forget clough and Ali is cos they were both television Celebrities Entertainers Showmen Comedians |
